This event display from ATLAS shows a proton-proton collision inside the Large Hadron Collider that has characteristics of a Higgs decaying into two bottom quarks. While this is the most common decay of the Higgs boson, its signature is very difficult to separate from similar looking background events. Image courtesy of ATLAS
